Janice Dickinson Weighs In on "Fat" Talk, Lumps in Tyra

Janice Dickinson by John Shearer/WireImage.com, Tyra Banks by Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImage.com

Coincidentally, just as she has a new season of her Oxygen series arriving, Janice Dickinson on Monday's Today show dove into the "What is fat?" debate by hailing Jennifer Love Hewitt as "a healthy, not emaciated woman," but then seemingly derided fellow former model and Top Model host Tyra Banks. "You want to see someone who's fat? Tyra Banks is fat." (Banks, of course, braved her own swimsuit scrutiny in January, then went on to milk it for headlines here and there.)

Called on her cattiness by Al Roker, Janice tried to save her bacon from a frying from Tyra by saying, "I'm kidding.... I love Miss Banks."

Doesn't Janice have her own models be skinny? At the end of Season 2 one male model was taking a fat burner and a female model didn't get a shoot because the small didn't fit right. Sounds like Janice is a litte bit of a hypocrate. And NO, Jennifer Love is not fat!

Is it me, or does that woman just go out of her way to offend people? "Refreshing honesty" -- if that's what you want to call it -- is fine when she's a judge on her TV show. But when all she does is shoot her mouth off and seemingly innocent people, it gets to be a bit much.

Tyra makes Janice Dickinson look like a hundred year old woman. Just kidding. Eighty is probably more accurate.

She didn't retract her insults when she was on the Howard Stern Show, earlier that morning.

Janice is just an old hag anyway!

Heres the real deal and quite obvious: Janice is SO JEALOUS of Tyra and her sucess that she seems to always go out of her way to say negative things about her. Its quite sad actually. When your used to being on top, like Janice was back in the day (about 100 years ago) its hard to accept that your now a nobody and you have to take a back seat.

More than men, it is horrible women such as Janice Prickenson who set women's image issues into motion. Let's all send her the message that no one cares what she thinks. JD is the kind of ugly that no plastic surgery can ever fix.

What a @#$%@! Tyra is one of the most beautiful women on television. Inside and out. I would give anything to look like her. This woman doesn't even come close to being half the woman Tyra is. When she accomplishes what Tyra has in terms of helping people and being a positive role model, then she can open her mouth. I would be very happy not to ever have to see or hear from that plastic surgery disaster area ever again.

Tyra is a trainwreck. Probably just as bad as Janice. Just the other day I saw her (Tyra) sit a twenty year old man (Bow Wow) on her lap and talk to him about sex. Now, if Maury Povich did that, he'd be in some serious sh*t.

Janice is nothing but a jealous old hag who can't stand that Tyra is more successful that her.

These are former supermodels not rocket scientists here who give %^&&^% what she thinks.
